10 COMMANDMENTS FOR WOMEN ON FOOD. Written by Beulah

You may ask what is my particular interest in the subject matter of food and women, I perceive that God didn't make a woman to be a cook because Adam as a bachelor was eating before Eve came, taking the fact that they ate fruits without having to cook, it appears to my mind that Eve took over that department of Adam's life when she came, she determined what was good and edible for Adam as they discovered all sorts of food available in the garden.

My conclusion is drawn from the fact that when she brought the forbidden food to Adam and said she had taken it and it was good for food, Adam did not argue, it seems she had passed the test of efficiency at determining what was good and edible for food over the time,so he took it hook line and sinker without hesitation.

Over the time, women have been entrusted with food affairs and to tell you the truth the whole of mankind owes the women folk sincere appreciation for taking care of our men and children, a strange trend that we now notice is a generation of lazy,not willing to learn or perhaps not taught women who are disasters in the kitchen arena.

My standing to write on the subject matter of cooking is premised on the fact that the kitchen is not a strange place to me, with all sense of modesty and humility, I am single and whole not wanting in that department,thanks to my sweet mother and encouraging father, he was a cook per excellence that his wife was always on her toes.

Do you know that simple matters can cause big troubles, have you heard that misunderstanding over food can break down marriages, when a woman begins to put boiled yam inside the freezer for her husband, such a man has entered the proverbial one chance.

Now back to the matter, first it was the use of household staffs ranging from maids to chefs and later with the advent of fast foods and all that, it appears that our generation is fast loosing the responsibility of making home made foods and a chunk of them have become noodle-lised (permit my usage).

Before you crucify me for not addressing men on the issue of food and longer throat, please wait for season two, I am only being courteous with the women first syndrome without any attempt to provoke good women out there who cook so well that men bite their fingers, let us make the following points clear:

1. If you don't know how to cook well, be candid with yourself and set into action to learn;

2. If a man allows you to cook for him, take it as a sign that he loves you not that he loves food, mama Basira's and Ose Oloun are doing well in town supplying the need of men;

3. The difference between home grown food from a beloved woman and a general market of wild cooking for hungry men is too wide to imagine;

4. The congenial atmosphere engendered by a wife who satisfies her man and builds his stomach infrastructure cannot be compared to anything;

5. It is still true that the way to a man's heart is his stomach, cook well till your man blesses you, God honours his prayers over you;

6. Never be carried away by his professed love for you, when the die is cast in marriage, the real man wants to eat good food on the dinning table;

7. Never assume that your husband will be the same like your father, they are two different people, learn to embrace his peculiar needs;

8. Good cooking is a true and tested way to bring your man home any day;

9. Whatever he likes to eat, if its not injurious to your health, try and make it;

10. Never, Never,Never give him just anything, it is wickedness, all that a man gains from his labour primarily is what he eats in his mouth.

Conclusively, to all ladies out there who are praying that their husbands will not like food, you had better start preparing,God knows how to answer such prayers the other way around.

Watch out for season 2
